The Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite differential code bias (DCB) should be precisely calibrated when obtaining ionospheric slant total electron content (TEC). So far, it is ground-based GPS observations that have been used to estimate GPS satellite DCB. With the increased Low Earth Orbit (LEO) missions in the near future, the real-time satellite DCB estimation is a crucial factor in real-time LEO GPS data applications. One alternative way is estimating GPS DCB based on the LEO observations themselves, instead of using ground observations. We propose an approach to estimate the satellite DCB based on Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate (COSMIC) and Challenging Minisatellite Payload (CHAMP) GPS observations during the years 2002–2012. The results have been validated through comparisons with those issued by Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE). The evaluations indicate that: The approach can estimate satellite DCB in a reasonable way; the DCB estimated based on CHAMP observations is much better than those on COSMIC observations; the accuracy and precision of DCB show a possible dependency on the ionospheric ionization level. This method is significance for the real-time processing of LEO-based GNSS TEC data from the perspective of real-time applications. 相似文献

Single layer ionosphere models are frequently used for ionospheric modeling and estimation using GPS measurements from a network of GPS reference stations. However, the accuracies of single layer models are inherently constrained by the assumption that the ionospheric electrons are concentrated in a thin shell located at an altitude of about 350 km above Earths surface. This assumption is only an approximation to the physical truth because the electrons are distributed in the entire ionosphere region approximately from 50 to 1,000 km. To provide instantaneous ionospheric corrections for the real-time GPS positioning applications, the ionospheric corrections need to be predicted in advance to eliminate the latency caused by the correction computation. This paper will investigate ionospheric total electron content (TEC) predictions using a multiple-layer tomographic method for ionospheric modeling over a local area GPS reference network. The data analysis focuses on the accuracy evaluation of short-term (5 min in this study) TEC predictions. The results have indicated that the obtainable TEC prediction accuracy is at a level of about 2.8 TECU in the zenith direction and 95% of the total electron content can be recovered using the proposed tomography-based ionosphere model. 相似文献

The activities of the Ionosphere Working Group of the International GPS Service (IGS) 总被引：5，自引：2，他引：3
This article is based on a position paper presented at the IGS Network, Data and Analysis Center Workshop 2002 in Ottawa,
Canada, 8–11 April 2002, and introduces the IGS Ionosphere Working Group (Iono_WG). Detailed information about the IGS in
general can be found on the IGS Central Bureau Web page: http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov. The Iono_WG commenced working in June
1998. The working group's main activity currently is the routine production of ionosphere Total Electron Content (TEC) maps
with a 2-h time resolution and daily sets of GPS satellite and receiver hardware differential code bias (DCB) values. The
TEC maps and DCB sets are derived from GPS dual-frequency tracking data recorded with the global IGS tracking network.
In the medium- and long-term, the working group intends to refine algorithms for the mapping of ionospheric parameters from
GPS measurements and to realize near–real–time availability of IGS ionosphere products. The paper will give an overview of
the Iono_WG activities that include a summary of activities since its establishment, achievements and future plans.

Two-step method for the determination of the differential code biases of COMPASS satellites 总被引：8，自引：3，他引：5
The differential code bias (DCB) in satellites of the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) should be precisely corrected when designing certain applications, such as ionospheric remote sensing, precise point positioning, and time transfer. In the case of COMPASS system, the data used for estimating DCB are currently only available from a very limited number of global monitoring stations. However, the current GPS/GLONASS satellite DCB estimation methods generally require a large amount of geographically well-distributed data for modeling the global ionospheric vertical total electron content (TEC) and are not particularly suitable for current COMPASS use. Moreover, some satellites with unstable DCB (i.e., relatively large scatter) may affect other satellite DCB estimates through the zero-mean reference that is currently imposed on all satellites. In order to overcome the inadequacy of data sources and to reduce the impact of unstable DCB, a new approach, designated IGGDCB, is developed for COMPASS satellite DCB determination. IGG stands for the Institute of Geodesy and Geophysics, which is located in Wuhan, China. In IGGDCB, the ionospheric vertical TEC of each individual station is independently modeled by a generalized triangular series function, and the satellite DCB reference is selected using an iterative DCB elimination process. By comparing GPS satellite DCB estimates calculated by the IGGDCB approach based on only a handful (e.g., seven) of tracking stations against that calculated by the currently existing methods based on hundreds of tracking stations, we are able to demonstrate that the accuracies of the IGGDCB-based DCB estimates perform at the level of about 0.13 and 0.10?ns during periods of high (2001) and low (2009) solar activity, respectively. The iterative method for DCB reference selection is verified by statistical tests that take into account the day-to-day scatter and the duration that the satellites have spent in orbit. The results show that the impact of satellites with unstable DCB can be considerably reduced using the IGGDCB method. It is also confirmed that IGGDCB is not only specifically valid for COMPASS but also for all other GNSS. 相似文献

This paper presents the analyses connected with reduction of errors from ionospheric refraction using GPS data from local
satellite networks. This is particularly essential during rising solar activity. The Bernese GPS Software v. 4.2 was used,
as an analytical tool. The test data included measurements from a geodynamic network SUDETES situated in the Sudety Mountains
across the border between the Czech Republic and Poland. A local ionospheric activity model developed from a regional model
augmented with data from a local network has been tested at three levels. The criteria included comparison with a global model,
the success rate of ambiguity determination using the quasi-ionosphere free and wide-lane/narrow-lane strategies, and in the
position domain through analysis of residuals. The results show that the local model increases the success rate for ambiguity
determination for the wide-lane/narrow-lane strategy and is available sooner than the global models. The output of the SUDETES
network processing including the models of local ionospheric and tropospheric activity have been used to process data from
a number of relatively small networks situated in the Sudety mountains. 相似文献

Global Positioning System (GPS) total electron content (TEC) measurements, although highly precise, are often rendered inaccurate due to satellite and receiver differential code biases (DCBs). Calculated satellite DCB values are now available from a variety of sources, but receiver DCBs generally remain an undertaking of receiver operators and processing centers. A procedure for removing these receiver DCBs from GPS-derived ionospheric TEC at high latitudes, using Canadian Advanced Digital Ionosonde (CADI) measurements, is presented. Here, we will test the applicability of common numerical methods for estimating receiver DCBs in high-latitude regions and compare our CADI-calibrated GPS vertical TEC (vTEC) measurements to corresponding International GNSS Service IONEX-interpolated vTEC map data. We demonstrate that the bias values determined using the CADI method are largely independent of the topside model (exponential, Epstein, and α-Chapman) used. We further confirm our results via comparing bias-calibrated GPS vTEC with those derived from incoherent scatter radar (ISR) measurements. These CADI method results are found to be within 1.0 TEC units (TECU) of ISR measurements. The numerical methods tested demonstrate agreement varying from within 1.6 TECU to in excess of 6.0 TECU when compared to ISR measurements. 相似文献

Ionospheric correction using NTCM driven by GPS Klobuchar coefficients for GNSS applications 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) require mitigation of ionospheric propagation errors because the ionospheric range errors might be larger than tens of meters at the zenith direction. Taking advantage of the frequency-dispersive property of ionospheric refractivity, the ionospheric range errors can be mitigated in dual-frequency applications to a great extent by a linear combination of carrier phases or pseudoranges. However, single-frequency GNSS operations require additional ionospheric information to apply signal delay or range error corrections. To aid single-frequency operations, the global positioning system (GPS) broadcasts 8 coefficients as part of the navigation message to drive the ionospheric correction algorithm (ICA) also known as Klobuchar model. We presented here an ionospheric correction algorithm called Neustrelitz TEC model (NTCM) which can be used as complementary to the GPS ICA. Our investigation shows that the NTCM can be driven by Klobuchar model parameters to achieve a significantly better performance than obtained by the mother ICA algorithm. Our research, using post-processed reference total electron content (TEC) data from more than one solar cycle, shows that on average the RMS modeled TEC errors are up to 40% less for the proposed NTCM model compared to the Klobuchar model during high solar activity period, and about 10% less during low solar activity period. Such an approach does not require major technology changes for GPS users rather requires only introducing the NTCM approach a complement to the existing ICA algorithm while maintaining the simplicity of ionospheric range error mitigation with an improved model performance. 相似文献

The Global Navigation Satellite System presents a plausible and cost-effective way of computing the total electron content (TEC). But TEC estimated value could be seriously affected by the differential code biases (DCB) of frequency-dependent satellites and receivers. Unlike GPS and other satellite systems, GLONASS adopts a frequency-division multiplexing access mode to distinguish different satellites. This strategy leads to different wavelengths and inter-frequency biases (IFBs) for both pseudo-range and carrier phase observations, whose impacts are rarely considered in ionospheric modeling. We obtained observations from four groups of co-stations to analyze the characteristics of the GLONASS receiver P1P2 pseudo-range IFB with a double-difference method. The results showed that the GLONASS P1P2 pseudo-range IFB remained stable for a period of time and could catch up to several meters, which cannot be absorbed by the receiver DCB during ionospheric modeling. Given the characteristics of the GLONASS P1P2 pseudo-range IFB, we proposed a two-step ionosphere modeling method with the priori IFB information. The experimental analysis showed that the new algorithm can effectively eliminate the adverse effects on ionospheric model and hardware delay parameters estimation in different space environments. During high solar activity period, compared to the traditional GPS + GLONASS modeling algorithm, the absolute average deviation of TEC decreased from 2.17 to 2.07 TECu (TEC unit); simultaneously, the average RMS of GPS satellite DCB decreased from 0.225 to 0.219 ns, and the average deviation of GLONASS satellite DCB decreased from 0.253 to 0.113 ns with a great improvement in over 55%. 相似文献

The calibration errors on experimental slant total electron content (TEC) determined with global positioning system (GPS) observations is revisited. Instead of the analysis of the calibration errors on the carrier phase leveled to code ionospheric observable, we focus on the accuracy analysis of the undifferenced ambiguity-fixed carrier phase ionospheric observable determined from a global distribution of permanent receivers. The results achieved are: (1) using data from an entire month within the last solar cycle maximum, the undifferenced ambiguity-fixed carrier phase ionospheric observable is found to be over one order of magnitude more accurate than the carrier phase leveled to code ionospheric observable and the raw code ionospheric observable. The observation error of the undifferenced ambiguity-fixed carrier phase ionospheric observable ranges from 0.05 to 0.11 total electron content unit (TECU) while that of the carrier phase leveled to code and the raw code ionospheric observable is from 0.65 to 1.65 and 3.14 to 7.48 TECU, respectively. (2) The time-varying receiver differential code bias (DCB), which presents clear day boundary discontinuity and intra-day variability pattern, contributes the most part of the observation error. This contribution is assessed by the short-term stability of the between-receiver DCB, which ranges from 0.06 to 0.17 TECU in a single day. (3) The remaining part of the observation errors presents a sidereal time cycle pattern, indicating the effects of the multipath. Further, the magnitude of the remaining part implies that the code multipath effects are much reduced. (4) The intra-day variation of the between-receiver DCB of the collocated stations suggests that estimating DCBs as a daily constant can have a mis-modeling error of at least several tenths of 1 TECU. 相似文献

在全球定位系统(Global Positioning System,GPS)中,接收机硬件延迟引起的码偏差和相位偏差是影响精密授时、电离层建模以及非差模糊度解算的重要因素。利用GPS对电离层总电子含量进行估计和建模时,通常假定GPS接收机硬件延迟偏差是稳定不变的量,对其可能存在的波动及影响因素考虑不充分。因此,对GPS接收机硬件延迟偏差的时变特性进行分析,有助于提高电离层电子含量估值的准确性和可靠性。分析了GPS接收机差分码偏差(differential code bias,DCB)和差分相位偏差(differential phase bias,DPB)单历元及单天解的时间变化特性,并对温度变化与接收机DCB、DPB变化之间的相关性进行了实验探究。结果表明,接收机重启前后其DCB值会发生突变,重启之后接收机DCB和DPB大约需要25 min才能趋于稳定。接收机DCB和DPB并不能长期保持稳定,实验数据显示,在2~3 h内,DCB的变化量可以达到0.8 m左右,DPB的变化量可以达到4 mm左右,接收机DCB和DPB的波动与周围环境温度的变化具有较强相关性。 相似文献

An approach to modeling the regional ionospheric total electron content (TEC) based on spherical cap harmonic analysis is
presented. This approach not only provides a better regional TEC mapping accuracy, but also the capability for ionospheric
model prediction based on spectrum analysis and least squares collocation. Unlike conventional approaches, which predict the
immediate TEC with models using current observations, the spherical cap harmonic approach utilizes models using past observations
to predict a model which will provide future TEC values. A significant advantage in comparison with conventional approaches
is that the spherical cap harmonic approach can be used to predict the long-term TEC with reasonable accuracy. This study
processes a set of GPS data with an observation time span of 1 year from two GPS networks in China. The TEC mapping accuracy
of the spherical cap harmonic model is compared with the polynomial model and the global ionosphere model from IGS. The results
show that the spherical cap harmonic model has a better TEC mapping accuracy with smoother residual distributions in both
temporal and spatial domains. The TEC prediction with the spherical cap harmonic model has been investigated for both short-
and long-term intervals. For the short-term interval, the prediction accuracies for the latencies of 1-day, 2-days, and 3-days
are 2.5 TECU, 3.5 TECU, and 4.5 TECU, respectively. For the long-term interval, the prediction accuracy is 4.5 TECU for a
2-month latency. 相似文献

Precise GPS Positioning by Applying Ionospheric Corrections from an Active Control Network 总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1
In this article, initial results are presented of a method to improve fast carrier phase ambiguity resolution over longer
baselines (with lengths up to about 200 km). The ionospheric delays in the global positioning system (GPS) data of these long
baselines mainly hamper successful integer ambiguity resolution, a prerequisite to obtain precise positions within very short
observation time spans.
A way to correct the data for significant ionospheric effects is to have a GPS user operate within an active or permanently
operating network use ionospheric estimates from this network. A simple way to do so is to interpolate these ionospheric estimates
based on the expected spatial behaviour of the ionospheric delays. In this article such a technique is demonstrated for the
Dutch Active Control Network (AGRS.NL). One hour of data is used from 4 of the 5 reference stations to obtain very precise
ionospheric corrections after fixing of the integer ambiguities within this network. This is no problem because of the relatively
long observation time span and known positions of the stations of the AGRS.NL. Next these interpolated corrections are used
to correct the GPS data from the fifth station for its ionospheric effects. Initial conclusions about the performance of this
technique are drawn in terms of improvement of integer ambiguity resolution for this baseline. ? 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

Total electron content processing from GPS observations to facilitate ionospheric modeling 总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1
With the increasing global distribution of high rate dual-frequency global positioning system (GPS) receivers, the production
of a real-time atmospheric constituent definition, total electron content (TEC), has become a beneficial contributor to the
modeling applications used in the assessment of GPS position accuracy and the composition of the ionosphere, plasmasphere,
and troposphere. Historically, TEC measurements have been obtained through post processing techniques to produce the quality
of data necessary for modeling applications with rigorous error estimate requirements. These procedures necessitated the collection
of large volumes of data to address the various abnormalities in the computation of TEC associated with the use of greater
data quality controls and source selection while real-time modeling environments must rely on autonomous controls and filtration
techniques to prevent the production of erroneous model results. In this paper we present methods for processing TEC in real
time, which utilize several procedures including the application of an ionospheric model to automatically perform quality
control on the TEC output and the computational techniques used to address receiver multipath, faulty receiver observations,
cycle-slips, segmented processing, and receiver calibrations. The resulting TEC measurements are provided with rigorous error
estimates validated using the vertical TEC from the Jason satellite mission.

The ionospheric eclipse factor method (IEFM) and its application to determining the ionospheric delay for GPS 总被引：4，自引：1，他引：3
A new method for modeling the ionospheric delay using global positioning system (GPS) data is proposed, called the ionospheric
eclipse factor method (IEFM). It is based on establishing a concept referred to as the ionospheric eclipse factor (IEF) λ
of the ionospheric pierce point (IPP) and the IEF’s influence factor (IFF) . The IEF can be used to make a relatively precise distinction between ionospheric daytime and nighttime, whereas the IFF
is advantageous for describing the IEF’s variations with day, month, season and year, associated with seasonal variations
of total electron content (TEC) of the ionosphere. By combining λ and with the local time t of IPP, the IEFM has the ability to precisely distinguish between ionospheric daytime and nighttime, as well as efficiently
combine them during different seasons or months over a year at the IPP. The IEFM-based ionospheric delay estimates are validated
by combining an absolute positioning mode with several ionospheric delay correction models or algorithms, using GPS data at
an international Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) service (IGS) station (WTZR). Our results indicate that the IEFM
may further improve ionospheric delay modeling using GPS data. 相似文献
